The ACE editor is used in the function node to help you create well-formed JavaScript. However, there are now a number of different versions of JavaScript and it is sometimes helpful to use slightly different styles of coding to the defaults.
ACE uses JSHint which allows you to override settings locally.
Use something like the following at the start of your Function code:
/*jshint sub:true,asi:true,maxerr:1000*/
which would, for example:
- Turn off the warnings about using subscripting to access object properties.
- Turn off warnings about missing semi-colons.
- Continue processing warnings & errors up to 1,000 lines instead of the default 50.
See the JSHint documentation for more information.
